With more than a month left in the regular season, there are only 12 attractions available to play in the playoffs. One of the best ways a team can secure a playoff location is to play against their divisional opponents. In fact, this is the second decisive game to determine which teams have a place in the playoffs.
For some teams, their strong internal record shows why they are locked in a playoff location. For others, like the New York Yankees, it shows why they are currently grabbing the position of trading life.

If the New York Yankees had to play in the finals of the division record, they would have trouble. The teams clung to the playoff location as they scored 14-19 against their division rivals. This spells out bad news, especially among other teams in the wildcard chase, with better internal records.
Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox scored the best record in a 20-13 win over rival teams. The Toronto Blue Jays have a 4.5-game lead in the AL and have an internal record of 19-17.

Fortunately, the Detroit Tigers, which have been slipping since the trade deadline, will still hold the division's finals 20-11. However, Cleveland's guardian is not far away, with a record of 22-13 against Al Central Foes. Despite this, the Tigers are still leading 6.5 games in the AL Central standings.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Royals are four games for the Yankees. At 16-17, the royals will have a decisive advantage over them.

When facing the division opponent, the Houston Astros scored 16-17. As of August 12, they were leading only one game and finished first. They need to get more victories, especially against the Mariners.

The Chicago Cubs, who had seen the winemaker, stole the first place and never looked back, with a record of 19-15.
The St. Louis Cardinal was 16-17, while the Cincinnati Reds were 15-18. Both are firmly in the wild card mixture.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are just against their division rivals. They have an internal record of 19-7, which is the best in the entire baseball. If they stick with it, that will come in handy, as San Diego Padres’s game against division rivals is 17-13.
Surprisingly, despite their sale on the trade deadline, the Arizona Diamondbacks faced their NL Western Conference rivals 19-14.
